If he's paid serious money and doesn't produce the goods, the Forest fans are going to get rather upset very quickly.
He could end up as your tagline - Forrest Gimp
very good!Jesse Lingard

very good!If Forest pay 180k/week to him then they deserve everything coming to them
Biggest signing since Pierre van Hooijdonk
But, but, but, I thought Barcelona, Madrid juve etc were going to be falling over themselves to sign you?
Takes up a lot of time to run a clothing and esports empire into the ground though. Not like he earns enough to be paying lots of other people to manage this stuff for him. It's likely just him and his brother.
It’s been a humbling experience for our departing stars eh? Pogba getting a smaller or at best similar package at Juve, Lingard going to a relegation candidate, and Ronaldo going around Europe offering his services and no one is interested.
We also seem unable to shift AWB, Jones, or Bailly.

Indeed. I've started to question positionality in every article I read these days. Football is so tribal that it's littered with it. Very few journalists with integrity to just report the truth.
Can't believe he isn't joining West Ham where had his best playing time in a decade, just to join a team that could be fighting relegation for more money. I know we all work for money, but it can't be the only factor for a footballer.
Have you not seen the mans wardrobe? That's an expensive habit. Not to mention the inevitable numerous sport cars, watches and properties.
What if they get relegated? It's also better for his "brand" to play for a better team with some games in Europe, even if it's just the conference cup.
Won't matter. He will still have his contract and happily sit it out until it expires. I'm sure there is some clause in there as regards relegation anyway.
id play for forest for 200k / week.
I think the only way he's managed to swing £200k a week is because Forest want to be part of his brand and his 100m views on social media.
Will be a good move for Jesse. Jack Colback can take him under his wing and then he'll really flourish.
Going for the money, what a completely unsurprising outcome
How's that hope of playing for a Champions League club going?
We never paid him a 6 figure sum...

I stand corrected! I thought we were paying him £120k per week.
This makes the reported wages even more absurd then
Taking into account a signing on bonus it makes sense I think. Looks terrible and i'd try very hard to seperate the signing on vs the weekly wage from a Forest point of view because its definitely capable of destabalising a squad being paid a fraction of the figure but could work out well for both.
Is this the person who want in your team when you are up against it fighting relegation? I'm not so sure.
i wonder how many weeks off work he'll ask them for
I thought his wage was 120k a week too.
If he has a clause in his contract that will see him earn far less in the event of relegation, then very much so.
Absolute stupidity from all involved at Forest. You think any of their players are being paid even £50k a week and you'll have this bellend getting paid £200k a week. They are going straight back down.
Forest will have a couple of players earning over 100k/week.
They haven't paid any transfer/loan fees for them, so it probably makes sense to give them that kind of salary.

Commiserations to Forest. Thought they might have had a slight chance of staying up.

One year contract? That's weird. I can't remember the last time that happened for a 29 year old who isn't injury prone.
Well I can't say I saw that coming
